I guess when you think about Queenstown and buzz then you think adrenalin filled adventures. Carol and I spent three days in the adventure capital enjoying our wedding anniversary, taking in some of the sights and getting a bike ride in. It really was totally comical because we set off up the hill, intending to follow the route on the MTB Queenstown map we’d purchased. Well, we ended up at the bottom of the Wynyard terrain park instead of the top so headed further down hill until we found a track sign point to the Gondola. It all looked a bit narrow to me and not rideable but we decided to go up because we knew it would meet up with the access road at some point. The really funny thing was that it certainly was a walking track and really knarly one at that… so we carried the bikes a long way. It turned out it was the Gondola track that we’d walked on our honeymoon all those years ago, which was quite comical.
While out and about browsing the shops we got a real buzz when a woman passed us wearing a shebikeshebikes Otago Central Rail Trail t-shirt.
